It was also having a tremendous buildup of ammonia gas that was causing irritation to the pigs and the employees. Flies were beginning to use the crusting manure as a breeding ground which was also creating problems for the pigs and employees.

Problem: This facility has an expensive liner in its lagoon, and the use of equipment to remove the solids from the lagoon was not an option. It also dewaters the lagoon via irrigation onto row crops every 30 days. The buildup of solids in the lagoon had reached a point of capacity such that they were unable to maintain free board of water above governmental regulations. Also frequent complaints from neighbors and county officials regarding the odor were being received.
